Abstract:
Lung cancer is the most deadly malignant tumor in the world.In order to improve the overall therapeutic effect,anti-angiogenesis therapy has become an important part of the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).In addition,some studies have found that there is a certain relationship between the efficacy of these drugs and the gene status of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) gene.These findings suggest that the dual blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR) and EGFR may be a new option for NSCLC.Based on the development status of a number of anti-angiogenic drugs in the treatment of advanced NSCLC at home and abroad,this paper reviewed the correlation between EGFR gene status and efficacy of different anti-angiogenic drugs,and efficacy of anti-angiogenic drugs combined with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKI) in patients with EGFR mutations and special site metastasis,at the same time,the possible new mode of combined anti-angiogenic drugs in the treatment of NSCLC was prospected.
